Basic Rules for Men’s Fashion.


I wanted to list out a few different things I have seen while out and about that have been bugging me with men and fashion lately.  I am by no means trying to say my sense of style is better than anyone else’s, but there are many people making the wrong choices with their clothing that is prohibiting them from looking as good as they could.  So, here we go.

1.     Just because we see a lot of men wearing cargo shorts does not make them fashionable.  Instead try a sturdy pair of Flat front Chino Shorts.  Target currently has theirs on sale for $17.99.  Chinos go great with simple shirts and look much better for the summer season!
2.     Keeping with shorts never wear visible socks while wearing shorts.
3.     Please don’t wear socks with sandals (I’m talking to the Nike high sock flip flop people).
4.     Get rid of your cell phone holder belt clip. Please. 
5.     Suit coats and sport coats should be altered by a professional tailor to fit your body better.  You will probably spend $25-$100 on this. 
6.     Suit and sport coats should have their arm lengths long enough to expose about a half inch of dress shirt cuff.
7.     Your jacket should only have three buttons.  Anything more is overdoing it.
8.     Open your jacket pocket, either with small scissors or a seem ripper, these pockets are meant to be used.  Find a nice pocket square to match the tie and shirt you are wearing. 
9.     Under armor, polyester, and spandex stay in the gym or on the field, never to the mall, to the movies, or out to dinner.
10. Your clothes should not have seemingly “witty” statements on them nor should your clothes make you a walking billboard for a company or brand.  Simple form fitting clothes are best for any look.  You are not a peacock.

Those were just a few of the things I have seen while out recently.  Hope you enjoyed the post!

Stay fresh, stay awesome.
